t-ham + barbs




















I am just copying this article and posting a link to the soundcloud page because I'm in a hurry, but on 10/07/13, Barber played a number of songs with American Babies at the Brooklyn Bowl, 5/6 of the songs being covers that JGB played. Now we just need a BPm show with Barber! Anyway, check out American Babies' soundcloud page, (link at bottom of this post).

American Babies got some help from the Disco Biscuits' Jon “Barber” Gutwillig last night during their set at the Brooklyn Bowl. The guitarist came out for the last six songs of the set, which consisted of a few songs that the Jerry Garcia Band used to cover, as well as an American Babies original. One of the group’s JGB tribute songs was Bob Dylan’s classic “Tangled Up in Blue,” marking the first time that American Babies have covered the song and the first time that Gutwillig has covered a Dylan tune in concert. The guitarist also stuck around for takes on Jimmy Cliff’s “Harder They Come,” the Grateful Dead’s “Deal,” The Temptations “The Way You Do The Thing You Do,” American Babies’ “Joeline” and The Beatles’ “Dear Prudence.” With the exception of “Joeline,” it was the first time that American Babies has played all those songs as well.

Joe Russo's Almost Dead!






























For the second night of the Freak's Ball XIII at the BK Bowl back on 1/26/13, Joe Russo followed up the previous night's Bustle in Your Hedgerow performance with the debut performance of a new ensemble called Joe Russo's Almost Dead, (I'll be abbreviating that to JRAD) featuring Joe Russo, Marco Benevento, Tommy Hamilton, Scott Metzger, and Dave Dreiwitz, performing the music of the Grateful Dead!!

What an amazing night of music! All I'll say is, if you like the Dead at all, make sure to check out this free matrix recording!



Why do I post this now? Because JRAD finally booked another performance! This time they'll be playing at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY on 12/27/13. Too bad this is right in the middle of the Biscuit's New Year's run. I wish this would've been a New Year's day show, but there's nothing saying they can't book a second night, or that something else might be brewing up for that day! Bring back The Join, or tbe Insane Lunchadors, or the L. Cool Trio!
